There a four "tulanes" in the C7, but that is ok? We were invited. Does it do any good starting fights?

There are no Tulane's in the C7. There are bad teams, but not that bad. Link for the source is in there: http://csnbbs.com/showthread.php?tid=607382

Now why would you say that? Your admin should have thought about tripling your travel cost vs the benefits of staying with Rutgers, West Virginia, Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville and ND leaving.......oh that's right....it is Tulane's fault.

Tulane and ECU had about as much to do with the C7 leaving as Switzerland did with Pearl Harbor.

Their BB team had some bad luck with players transferring for whatever reason. I'm not worried about their hoops. They can get 4-5k with 10 years of sub par teams for the most part.

Tulane is a giant project. I've been to 2 games at Tulane and attendance was below what my High School teams draws. Their stadium will help a ton. Travel costs into New Orleans is a plus. I'm very blah on Tulane, but I do see future potential.

Really hope the trailer in the sky is going to be gone soon. Of course it's really more an eyesore than anything as it's plenty functional and none of the media complain about it.

If this league was so great these teams would not have left. What does it say that they did not want to be part of the "big" basketball school agenda. Get the facts straight. ECU and Tulane did nothing to destroy what already was embers before we got here. The 7 basketball schools should look themselves in the mirror and ask why the schools that left wanted to nothing to do with them. This is classic denial. It's like the kid who chases all his friends away telling himself that its their problem not his. One school leaving is an anomaly. Multiple schools leaving is pattern.

To be clear it was the consistent basketball first, small school mentality that doomed this conference. It caused Miami, VT and BC to leave. It eventually caused Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse and WVU to decide to start looking for lifeboats. It even caused a fine program that actually strengthened the Big East in nearly every sport it sponsors in Louisville to leave less than a decade after it joined. It even has Cincy looking for a raft a school who has been excellent for us. It has yet another charter member in UConn looking for a lifeboat too. Now the whole cause of instability is removing itself, but its about 12 years or so too late.

That being said its still sad to see all these great hoops matchups/rivalries go away.

I agree. But remember there have been many posters that got banned from the BE boards over the years for saying exactly what you just said, that in essence the C7 needed to split off and let the all sports schools add other schools that had good football. Goes way back to that stubborn Trained Geese fellow. And many of those posters were from schools who have been recently added to the conference. It all boiled down to the argument that a hybrid conference will not ultimately last, and that argument is now proven correct. Even as the conference had member after member leave, there were those from BE schools (mostly from the C7) who said it wasn't a problem. Well I reckon it still isn't a problem to them. So to the arrogant, self-assured know-it-alls up the northeast corridor who were and always have been the problem all I can say is you were wrong.

Ok. I'm just having a little tantrum. You can't be happy with this crap.
